This is a donation service that designs, prints, and manages gift certificate donations* for local businesses to give to local charities, ideal for silent auctions at gala events, raffles, golf tournaments, or other fundraising events.
SantaFeDonations.com does not take any percentage or portion of a donation. It is a free service for nonprofits to use, intended as a community resource to help businesses say “YES, I want to donate more”, and make donations that enable them to see more local traffic supporting their business throughout the year.
The gift certificates are generally bid on and purchased through the nonprofit event at silent auctions or raffles. Local people are supporting local businesses and local charities.
Businesses pay approximately 76¢ a gift certificate to provide this management service, distribution, and printing of their approved gift certificate donations ensuring their logos are properly displayed on all their printed promotional materials.
If you are a nonprofit organization looking for donations, simple make a request for each of your events, rush orders can be handled, it is better with more time to broadcast your request, print, and ship your donations. (They are not printed in Santa Fe, so they must be shipped.)
Included in each donation that goes to a charitable organization is an 8.5×11″ color poster to display at their event with the donor’s logo and donation prominently displayed, professionally designed and printed gift certificates, and an info sheet for organizers with a list of the donors and their addresses for sending the custom thank you notes.
